This week’s challenge on the CAS-ual Fridays’ blog is to create a clean and simple project inspired by your blog header. Here’s what I came up with:
I love making Christmas cards with a CAS (Clean & Simple) design as it helps to make the large number of cards needed a whole lot easier. Plus, it also saves on postage!
But I think it is the elegant feel of a CAS design that I love the most.
Each month the winner for my sketch challenge is drawn by putting the names of all those participating into a hat. The winner of my September Sketch Challenge is Bonnie aka raduse . Congrats, Bonnie!! Hope you have lots of fun with this Stampin’ Up! stamp set.
My next sketch challenge will be posted on October 15th.
Happy Crafting!

Just lovely! I’ve been working on my Christmas cards a little bit at a time. I need something like this that I know I’ll have to use when I get to that crunch time and I’m not finished with them. Simple, bu very elegant! TFS!
Love your card, Susan! So simple and elegant. I hope to finally get a chance to play along with your sketch challenge next month. My kitchen remodel is coming to a close so hopefully I will be crafting again real soon!
